KonaPDF utility script

Kona Software has released an AppleScript designed specifically for saving time when creating PDF documents from QuarkXPress documents, . The script takes a folder of QuarkXPress documents and automatically produces a set of Postscript .PS files, placing them in a watched folder ready for Acrobat Distiller to turn into PDFs. KonaPDF also reads the layout dimensions of each document and sets the PDF page size to these, sensibly naming the Postscript files in the process. There are both single-page PDFs and two-page spread options. KonaPDF (£6) requires Mac OS X 10.3.9, QuarkXPress 6.5, Adobe Acrobat Distiller 6, the Mac OS system language set to British, and the default printer set to a Postscript printer.
